"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-021553 advisory.

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    bpf: Call free_htab_elem() after htab_unlock_bucket()

    For htab of maps, when the map is removed from the htab, it may hold the
    last reference of the map. bpf_map_fd_put_ptr() will invoke
    bpf_map_free_id() to free the id of the removed map element. However,
    bpf_map_fd_put_ptr() is invoked while holding a bucket lock
    (raw_spin_lock_t), and bpf_map_free_id() attempts to acquire map_idr_lock
    (spinlock_t), triggering the following lockdep warning:

    One way to fix the lockdep warning is using raw_spinlock_t for
    map_idr_lock as well. However, bpf_map_alloc_id() invokes
    idr_alloc_cyclic() after acquiring map_idr_lock, it will trigger a
    similar lockdep warning because the slab's lock (s->cpu_slab->lock) is
    still a spinlock.

    Instead of changing map_idr_lock's type, fix the issue by invoking
    htab_put_fd_value() after htab_unlock_bucket(). However, only deferring
    the invocation of htab_put_fd_value() is not enough, because the old map
    pointers in htab of maps can not be saved during batched deletion.
    Therefore, also defer the invocation of free_htab_elem(), so these
    to-be-freed elements could be linked together similar to lru map.

    There are four callers for ->map_fd_put_ptr:

    (1) alloc_htab_elem() (through htab_put_fd_value())
    It invokes ->map_fd_put_ptr() under a raw_spinlock_t. The invocation of
    htab_put_fd_value() can not simply move after htab_unlock_bucket(),
    because the old element has already been stashed in htab->extra_elems.
    It may be reused immediately after htab_unlock_bucket() and the
    invocation of htab_put_fd_value() after htab_unlock_bucket() may release
    the newly-added element incorrectly. Therefore, saving the map pointer
    of the old element for htab of maps before unlocking the bucket and
    releasing the map_ptr after unlock. Beside the map pointer in the old
    element, should do the same thing for the special fields in the old
    element as well.

    (2) free_htab_elem() (through htab_put_fd_value())
    Its caller includes __htab_map_lookup_and_delete_elem(),
    htab_map_delete_elem() and __htab_map_lookup_and_delete_batch().

    For htab_map_delete_elem(), simply invoke free_htab_elem() after
    htab_unlock_bucket(). For __htab_map_lookup_and_delete_batch(), just
    like lru map, linking the to-be-freed element into node_to_free list
    and invoking free_htab_elem() for these element after unlock. It is safe
    to reuse batch_flink as the link for node_to_free, because these
    elements have been removed from the hash llist.

    Because htab of maps doesn't support lookup_and_delete operation,
    __htab_map_lookup_and_delete_elem() doesn't have the problem, so kept
    it as
